I recently bought a mid 90’s EBMM Axis, dates to right around the time after Ed left.
At some point looks like some chuckle head replaced the original EBMM branded Floyd Rose with an OFR unit. It’s a nice piece, but the d@mn body cavity isn’t big enough and the thing sits too high on the body at a steep angle.
Also looks like this guy needs a Floyd with a beveled edge at the fulcrum points on the body and the OFR doesn’t have that so using the bar actually makes the bridge dig into the finish! There just aren’t enough facepalms.
Looks to me from some cursory research like the EBMM licensed Floyd this would of come stock with was a Gotoh GE1996T unit. Does this seem right? If I buy one of these would it just drop right in and operate as intended?
I guess I could route the body cavity a little bigger to make the OFR unit work, but I don’t really wanna do that. Any help/recommendations here would be much appreciated!
